Do you guys know what the actual plot of the original Super Mario Bros. is? I just assumed it was "Bowser kidnapped the Princess, Mario must rescue her." But according to the official instruction book and even Nintendo.com, it's some nonsense about Bowser using his magic powers to turn all the mushroom people into blocks, bricks, and plants, then kidnapping the Princess because she has magic powers too and is the only one who can undo the spell. That is bizarre. Compared to that story, every other Mario's plot looks about 10 times better.

What? That sounds way better than "lol kidnap princess for no apparent reason k bye."

Do you guys need to have the whole plot and story and any and all surprises spoiled for you? You realize that it's coming in out in two months and at that time you can play it for yourself and discover all the fun on your own, right? It's cool to be excited but don't you think being so eager that ever secret is uncovered before you even play the game kind of ruins the actual experience?

I'm fine with Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach, its just, make it more interesting. Give us a reason why Mario's collection 1 million coins. @NintyFan, I think Super Mario Land 2 : 6 Golden Coins has a story, with Wario added in at least. Then there's Super Mario Sunshine that has a somewhat different story with Bowser trying to frame Mario during his vacation.

That's bad news for Sony's game "designers".

In the early days, so much of a game's story, especially one like the SMBs, was told in the instruction booklets. With the slow, painful death of them, I expect there'll be Mario games where there'll be no story. It's just a Pinky and the Brain scenario. Every episode, you knew they were trying to take over the world, and you already know Bowser's kidnapping Peach for the sake of kidnapping her. No story given by Nintendo. Storytelling is going to fall more and more into decline as gaming "progresses", I fear.

Oh, I can totally envision a scenario where Bowser is originally asking for a Billion coins ransom for Peach. Then says (pinkie claw to corner of mouth) a Million coins. Cue Bowser Jr. correcting him, and Bowser telling him to ZIP IT.

I never cared for the Mario Plot to much anyways? If the game is the awesome 2D platforming we all know and love then I dont care, Im sure mario needs the coins to buy something or open a special door or something of that sort

I had a dream about this game apparently...collecting a bunch of coins. (it was also a 3D platformer too, you think it would happen? )
Anyways yeah screw story on Bros. games....if I want a story in a Mario game then I'd play the RPGs. >.>

2D platformers don't need to be plot heavy.
Nuff said.

I honestly thought the story would be something like Bowser getting the ability to turn everything to gold and he'd use it to get rich or something. Maybe him and his kids used it to buy some fancy gold weapons or something. (you know, for bosses. xD )

I know everyone's saying the story doesn't matter for a Mario game, but for real. I'm not asking for a drawn-out epic here, just give us something different than the usual "Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach". Except now its Bowser Kidnaps Princess Peach + Mario wants coins! What? It feels so tacked on. Actually integrate it into the storyline of the game. Its not that hard when I could sit here for 5 minutes and come up with several simple storylines that a new Mario game could use.

I didn't really like last night's trailer, I couldn't concentrate with that guy speaking over it ._.

I would be completely hyped for this game if you could share your coin rush records via spotpass as well as streetpass. I mean, is Nintendo allergic to online or something?

And put me in the "who cares about the story" club. There's Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi for that.

Why must they reuse the same themes? More than half of the trailer were the same backgrounds from the first two entries. The night level looks interesting but other than that, nothing really spectacular. Poisonous water in the jungle world, sandy beaches with the same background, cloud levels with giant mushrooms to land on with green koopas in the way, and was that the exact Toadstool castle from NSMBW? Shocker. $1 says that Bowser is the antagonist.

Nice to see the new additions. Even if the Tanooki tail is old school.

Just for you.

I sold my NSMBW (all my Wii games actually) to get trade in cash for Wii U and 3DS. I loved NSMBW so this is kinda a replacement but at the same time it's different. The coin aspect will have the whole thing (gameplay wise) give a different feeling. Like a challenge mode of NSMBW.
